IX is the Roman numeral for 9. This free Roman Numerals Chart makes printable charts and practice worksheets for roman numbers from 1 up to 3,999, so you can look up, check or practice any value. It runs in your web browser, so nothing is uploaded, and no account or sign-up is needed.
You can print a complete chart from 1 to 100, a blank chart for students to fill in, or a worksheet that converts numbers to Roman numerals, converts numerals back to numbers, or mixes both. Each sheet can also include an answer key, a box with the seven symbols, and comparison or addition problems.
You can use what you make here in class or in things you sell, such as Etsy printables, Teachers Pay Teachers and print-on-demand posters, with no credit needed.
How to use the Roman Numerals Chart
- Type a heading in Title on the sheet, or keep the default, Roman Numerals.
- Under What to print, choose Roman numerals chart or Practice worksheet.
- For a chart, pick a range under Chart, such as 1 to 100, 10 to 1,000 (by tens), or the seven symbols and the six pairs.
- Under Style, choose Complete chart, Blank chart or Some blanks to fill in.
- For a worksheet, set Problems (numbers to Roman numerals, Roman numerals to numbers, or a mix), Numbers up to, Number of problems and Columns.
- Tick any extra boxes you need: the box with the 7 symbols, comparison problems (<, >, =), or addition and subtraction problems answered in Roman numerals.
- Check the sheet preview, which updates as soon as you change a setting. Leave Include answer key ticked if you want one.
- Select Print or save as PDF. Choose US Letter or A4 paper first if needed. The browser’s print dialog can also save a PDF.
The answer key prints on its own page after the worksheet. Select New worksheet to get a different sheet with the same settings; each sheet has a short worksheet code shown under the buttons. The page address stores your settings, so a bookmarked or shared link opens the same sheet, and Reset settings restores the defaults.
What is IX in Roman numerals?
IX is the Roman numeral for 9. It is made from I (1) placed before X (10), and the smaller I is subtracted from the larger X: 10 − 1 = 9.
The same pattern gives the other subtractive forms. IV is 5 − 1 = 4, and XC is 100 − 10 = 90.
What are the seven Roman numerals?
The seven Roman numeral symbols are I, V, X, L, C, D and M. They stand for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000. Every other numeral is built from these letters.
Standard numerals use only six subtractive pairs: IV (4), IX (9), XL (40), XC (90), CD (400) and CM (900). Only I, X and C are subtracted, and only from the next two bigger symbols. I can come before V or X, X before L or C, and C before D or M.
How do you write numbers in Roman numerals?
Write the number as its place values, from the largest down, then convert each part.
- Split the number into place values. For 2024, that is 2000 + 20 + 4.
- Write each part as numerals: MM + XX + IV.
- Join the parts in order: MMXXIV.
Work through 1999 the same way. It splits into 1000 + 900 + 90 + 9, which gives M + CM + XC + IX, or MCMXCIX. For 49, you get XL + IX, or XLIX.
Why is 4 written IV and not IIII?
Standard Roman numerals never repeat a symbol more than three times in a row. So 3 is III, but 4 is written IV, which means 5 − 1. Writing IIII would break the rule.
IIII does appear on some clock faces, but that is a tradition, not the standard system. Charts and worksheets from this tool use IV.
What is the biggest Roman numeral?
Standard Roman numerals stop at 3999, written MMMCMXCIX. That is 3000 (MMM) plus 999 (CMXCIX). The largest single symbol is M, which means 1000.
This is why the tool’s highest setting for Numbers up to is 3,999. Its charts also reach 3,000, in steps of 100.
Is there a zero in Roman numerals?
No. Standard Roman numerals have no symbol for zero, so the number system starts at I (1). Charts in this tool start at 1 for the same reason.
If a problem seems to need zero, check the place value. For example, 1005 is written MV, with no placeholder needed.
How do I convert a year to Roman numerals?
Split the year into thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, then convert each part.
- Write the thousands. For 2026, that is MM.
- There are no hundreds, so nothing is written for them. Write the tens: 20 is XX.
- Write the ones. 6 is VI.
- Join them: MMXXVI.
Years in the 1900s follow the same method. For 1999, the parts are M, CM, XC and IX, which makes MCMXCIX.
Questions teachers and parents ask
Can I check my answers?
Yes. Type a number such as 2026 or a numeral such as MMXXVI into the **Look up a number or numeral** box, and it converts it both ways. If you type a non-standard numeral such as IIII or IC, the box explains why it is wrong. The lookup line does not print.
Can I make worksheets that go both ways?
Yes. Under **Problems**, choose A mix of both to get numbers to Roman numerals and Roman numerals to numbers on the same sheet.
Where does the answer key go?
When **Include answer key** is ticked, the key prints on its own separate page after the worksheet. It is included by default.
Can I make a different sheet with the same settings?
Yes. Select **New worksheet**. Each sheet has a worksheet code shown under the buttons, so you can tell them apart.
Which paper sizes can I print on?
You can choose US Letter or A4 before you print or save as PDF.
Are Roman numerals still used today?
Yes. They appear on clock faces, in book chapters and volumes, in outlines, in movie copyright years, in monarchs' names such as Elizabeth II, and in event numbers such as Super Bowl LX (60).
Do I need to install anything to use the tool?
No. The tool runs in your web browser, and it is free. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed.
Can I sell the Roman numerals charts I make here?
Yes. The Roman numerals charts and worksheets you make here are royalty-free for personal, classroom and commercial use, including Etsy printables, Teachers Pay Teachers and print-on-demand posters. You do not need to give credit. The only limit is that you may not copy the generator itself to run a competing service; see the [terms](/terms/).
